I tried rope several times over the years but could never get into it. No idea why, just a personal preference. Seemed like a lot of work for little gain. My preference is extreme heavy chain, heavy metal restraints, electro & black leather. I like the visual appeal and subs like the feeling of inescapability....no way out electro bondage. I use a Scream Labs X1 Interrogator and a couple 312's & 302R's for electro
Rope is a wonderful medium for multiple reasons, the intensity of your connection is greatly magnified, it also provides subconscious permission to play in ways one would not normally play, it intensifies anticipation, the intensity of play snd orgasmic bliss.
The one vital aspect of rope is to understand how to properly tie and use tithe various ties because injuries can be a result, esp nerve injuries that are occult until the damage is manifested. If hands are discolored, circulation is impaired. Is it situational because the sub is staining against the ropes or is the rope tied too tight or tied wrong and now tighter. As in all things in life, there are no absolutes.
You can learn online but do go to role events where they teach and learn what you missed in the videos. Have fun and bed safe.
BTW @ Dear _diary gave some very keen insights. .
Rope is the best I love getting tied up in the wine cellar anticipating getting used. I’m not sure if I’m stating the obvious. You’ll see a lot of pictures of girls and their skin is very red. don’t make that mistake. Make sure to use some cotton sash cord, the larger in diameter the better. I soak mine and fabric softener for about three days when it’s new, then rent it really well. it won’t leave a rash or burn marks.
I'm self-taught, and here are the resources we've used.
Shibari literally means “to bind” in Japanese. This erotic spiritual art is not only about creating intricate rope designs but also about stimulating ki energy flow through the knot placements onto the canvas of the human body.

RorysBrainworks: I find Rory to be one of the most accessible teachers on YouTube. He unfortunately stopped creating content to chase his author passions.
Bondage Tuition is my current favorite. They are clear about how to do what they are doing and have examples of consent discussions on their channel.
LazarusRedmayne at The Duchy is one of the most respected creators on the platform. His demonstrations are also very clear, and him wearing colored gloves helps you focus on the rope.

We are new, it looking to try. We have messed around with each other and are ready to include others now. Slowly at first. Mainly rope tying to start. We have seen very involved pictures, not to tight at first. Hopefully involving several folks. Not interested in purple titties.
